Bear takes victory in restaurant (7)
I believe the answer is:
carvery
'restaurant' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'bear takes victory' is the wordplay.
'bear' becomes 'carry' (bear can mean to carry).
'takes' indicates putting letters inside.
'victory' becomes 'VE' (VE is short for Victory in Europe).
'carry' going around 've' is 'CARVERY'.
'in' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for carvery that I've seen before include "Buffet with roasts" , "Buffet serving roast meats from the joint" , "likely to be hot at 19 across [REASTAURANT]" , "food outlet" , "Buffet restaurant" .)
